It simply depends on how you rock it, just not crazy or over the top.

    In my experience as an American the non-cycling public doesn't think much of cyclists, especially the spandex clad ones. However, individually and in a non-cycling context the ladies really seem to dig them more than your average Joe. Could be the fact that they're in shape. Female cyclists are a different story. The ones in really good shape intimidate men and generally have to date other cyclists.

    Without sounding broken hearted about being attractive to women as a cyclist I find that in my normal weekly cycling venue where many people of all genders and ages go I see some incredible attractive people, although I can understand people being attracted to reading, I find those people attractive because one they are pursuing a sport that on many levels is difficult, they demonstrate determination and many come all sorts of bikes which means they are doing their best with the budget they have and still participating.

    A group of my female work colleagues pointed out to me today that in the 9 years we've work together, the only days I've had off work sick (bar one unfortunate mugging incident) have all been cycling injury related and I've moaned about it. And that I don't talk about much else other than cycling. They acknowledged I sometimes talk about my kids and partner; usually about them cycling. I am currently injured again and moaning about it.

    Regarding the Colnago Y1RS: Slacken and increase the head tube a bit, extend the chainstays and increase the tire clearance, and you've got a great adventure bike with huge in-frame carrying capacity!

    on the TPU tubes when I switched to TPU tubes they are also thread less but they came with a sticker to put around the opening in the wheel nice and secure, no valve rattle, don't throw any stickers away with bicycle parts they just might serve a purpose, mine also came with patches and wipes.

    First off, the sound is much better than last week. Kudos to the production crew! Doesn't sound like it was taped in the men's room. Ollie and Hank, neither of you qualify for "middle-aged" yet. Don't rush it, you/ll get there soon enough. By the way, thanks so much for last year's special on the Tour de Tucson. I did the event this year and while waiting in the corral for the start I struck up a conversation with a cyclist from Toronto (about 40 miles across Lake Ontario from my home in Syracuse, NY USA) who also was doing the event because he saw your video on GCN.

    As a female cyclist, the inclusion of facile nonsense about how attractive men consider themselves to be to women is a clear indication that there aren't enough women on GCN .... Come on guys surely you can do better

    The problem with the study is that they ask the average women what they find attractive and not only women who are in great shape. What I noticed is that the best looking women I know are all dating guys who do bodybuilding, boxing or MMA something which is far down the list in the study. Swimming is as high on the list, because Olympic swimmers look hot while average old men playing golf don't. lol.

    To be fair to Sir Mark he had one big (OK, very big) result all season so I can see why he's left off the list. The bigger issue is Tadej being left out of the nominations for Overseas Personality (or whatever it's now called). Edit: Just seen that you commented on this (doh).

    cycling is a lifestyle. Once you ride a bike , then cycling is part of your life. You don't cycle for other people but for you. I also use my bike for commuting as well as my other bikes for riding on roads or my other bikes for riding in forests. And when you have the pleasure to overtake people who have much more expensive and flashy bikes than you have, it is really a personal pleasure. Archery did some bow shooting many years ago was pleasant but expensive. When you have the habit to ride fast on a city then you go fast on any bike. Cycling is good for health.

    You should have define cycling more between roadies and mountain bikers. I am sure the MTB would get more love because of the danger factor and outdoor life is huge now.

      I would think more so the clothes. Road attire is looked at as dorky, and mountain attire is seen as attractive (at least where I live in Asheville, NC, USA).
